Chapter 642: Proof
At the gate of the city, a black-bearded dwarf in black armor greeted the warriors with a large shield, and in the light of the torch, it could be seen that the ends of the beards were still braided into fine braids.
In the eyes of analysis, the comprehensive strength of this dwarf has reached A-level, which is on par with Samuel, especially the quality of liliang, which has reached A-level.
"Are these humans?" the blackbeard dwarf asked in a loud voice, "Boroth, it's great that you caught those dastardly thieves so quickly!"
"I'm not sure either," Borot shook his head, giving him a strange look, "because one of the humans says it's your friend." ”
"My friend?"
The blackbearded dwarf was taken aback, and heard Ina's voice come from him, "Uncle Teklin, remember me, I am Ina the daughter of Enreel Span." ”
"Nreyer Span?" Teklin thought for a moment, stepped forward, and looked up at Ina for a moment, revealing a look of confusion, "That guy's daughter, why doesn't she look alike?"
Ina directly ignored Zuihou's words: "My father once said something to me, once he and you were drinking in the Yang Shao King late at night, and as a result, you got drunk and sang loudly, which alarmed the guards of the curfew patrol, and when you escaped, you burned off a piece of your beard......"
When the surrounding dwarves heard this, they all let out a low laugh, and Borot even got up: "Teklin, it turns out that your beard was burned like this that time, and you also told me that it was splashed by sparks when you were striking iron!"
"Who said it, it's obvious that the iron was struck accidentally...... Don't talk about this, it's important to get down to business!" Teklin's rosacea turned even redder, revealing an embarrassed look, but the look in his eyes at Ina softened a lot: "It's really you, little Ina." You've grown so big, you're taller than me......"
Ina once again ignored Zuihou's words and explained, "Uncle Teklin, I am the leader of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment. These are my companions, we are escorting a priest to Garden City, because of the time constraints, we have chosen the shortcut of Black Rock Mountain, I have just been here for a short time, and I don't know anything about thieves. ”
"Teklin," Boruot on the side stopped laughing, "if you can guarantee that they have nothing to do with the theft." Then I'll let them go. ”
"The nature of this theft is very serious, and I haven't been in contact with little Ina before," Teklin looked pensive and shook his head, "So unfortunately, as one of the guardians, I can't guarantee anything. Especially little Ina's father, Enreel, uh. Or a ...... Thief. ”
It was the pit father's zuihou words again, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly become tense again.
"Since this is the case, then put them in custody first, and let them be disposed of by His Highness Aufg. With a wave of his hand, Borote was about to let the shield warriors take the crowd away.
Ina didn't expect to be questioned again because of this acquaintance's relationship, and quickly spoke: "Wait a minute, Uncle Teklin, I want to find out what this theft incident is all about, or I can try to prove my innocence." ”
Tekrin motioned for Borot to wait. Briefly state the matter.
Yesterday, that is, during the day, was the dwarves' ale festival. It was originally a festive day to drink ale, but in the afternoon, several places in the castle suddenly caught fire at the same time, and after the dwarves put out the fire, they realized that it was a ruse, and the real target of the other party was the storehouse in the castle, and a batch of equipment and an important blueprint were stolen.
That equipment was weapons and armor that were exchanged for supplies from humans. All have reached the premium excellence level. It's worth a lot, but the most important thing is the drawing. The value is far more than the equipment.
Enraged by the ruined festival, the dwarves immediately dispatched regular army warriors to hunt down the hateful invading thieves.
If it was usual, with the relationship between Ina and Tecklin, it should not be difficult to pass through Black Rock Mountain, but at this sensitive moment, he hit the muzzle of the gun, and four words appeared in Chen Rui's heart: an arrow in the knee.
"Okay, there's no need to talk to them!" Bo Ruot said impatiently: "Humans are all unreliable guys, these humans appear in the Black Rock Mountain area, and they are very suspicious in themselves! I will put them all in prison, starve for a few days, and naturally tell the truth!"
This sentence made Samuel frown, and a faint murderous aura spread around, and the dwarves suddenly sensed it, and they all clenched their weapons, revealing a look of vigilance. Teklin stepped forward and blocked in front of Borot, his short body bursting with a strong momentum, and he couldn't hold on to Samuel for a moment.
"Samuel!" Ina exclaimed, "Don't be impulsive!"
"I don't have time to delay in a place like this. Samuel's gaze was fixed on Boroth, and his fighting spirit burned, "If I am indiscriminately locked up, I would rather choose to fight." ”
Teklin had an extra black axe in his hand, "Despicable human!
This time, the atmosphere between the two sides was tense to the extreme, and seeing that it was about to break out, Chen Rui spoke: "Eh, the deputy head of the regiment, don't forget that your task is to escort us." Since everyone is innocent, then ...... I'd better explain this to the dwarven ruler first. ”
As soon as His Highness spoke, Samuel's momentum suddenly retracted, and his eyes were fixed on Teklin's face: "Take us to your king at once!
Samuel's strength is similar to that of Teklin, and once a fight starts, it will definitely affect the rest of the clansmen, but the stubborn dwarf will never compromise on this, but instead puts on a fighting jiashi: "Come on, bluffing coward! I'll cut off your head with an axe right now!"
Just then, a voice rang out, "Stop! Take them to meet His Highness Ovg. ”
It was a dwarf with a white beard who spoke, and a rare hint of wisdom flashed in his cloudy eyes, and the strength shown by the Eye of Analysis was B.
"Elder Ascar. The dwarves such as Teklin and Boroth bowed their heads respectfully, it seemed that although this white-bearded dwarf was not particularly strong, his status and prestige among the clan were quite high.
"By the way, His Highness Ovgol is the most powerful guardian of the Hill Dwarf Clan, if it is confirmed that these humans are thieves, under the deterrence of His Highness Ofg, they will have no room to struggle!" Teklin's eyes lit up, "By the way, be careful. Don't let them run away on the road!"
Zuihou's words made Elder Askar roll his eyes: "You have said everything now, isn't it tantamount to reminding people to run away?"
Fortunately, the humans didn't make any moves, including the dangerous one, and they were escorted by the Great Shield warriors towards the castle.
The dwellings in the castle were rarely lit, and judging by the rows of dwarven soldiers stationed along the way, the theft was no small matter, and the blueprint should be more important than expected.
The group came to the end of the avenue. In a quaint and magnificent palace.
The palace is brightly lit, and many details can reflect the dwarves' unique design, but everyone does not have the heart to appreciate these, everyone is no stranger to the dwarves, and many people have also had contact with the dwarves, but it is the first time to go to the dwarves' den as a captive. To say that you are not nervous is false.
On the throne in the center is a dwarf wearing a crown and fur, with a black beard, a relatively young appearance, and a resolute look in his eyes, who is none other than the ruler of the castle, the king of the dwarves of the hills.
After listening to Boroth's report, Ofg's brows furrowed: "The theft must have been committed by humans, and you happened to find these humans on the outskirts of Black Rock Mountain? Nor can it be said that it has nothing to do with thieves......"
Ovge does not speak a lingua franca, but the language of the dwarves, and Ina can only understand a little bit of this language, but it is not a problem for Chen Rui, who has an eye for analysis, but judging from Ofge's tone and inference, this king of the dwarves of the hills, who has obvious prejudices against humans, seems to believe that the Iron Shield Mercenary Group and the thieves of the Thick Earth Castle are inseparable.
Elder Askar nodded, "Your Highness means that you want to find clues about the thieves from them." ”
"Yes, I have an agreement with King Yangshao that humans are not allowed to infringe on the Houtu Castle of Black Rock Mountain under any pretext. If there is an aggressor. The dwarves will be unceremoniously punished with the severest punishment if the Yang Shao Kingdom dares to interfere. and the dwarves of the hills cut off all trade with them. Now, then, put them in custody first, and we must not let them go until this matter is cleared!"
Offge glanced at Samuel and added, "If there is resistance, shoot and kill!"
Although Samuel didn't understand what Ofg said, he could see the strong hostility of the king of the dwarves of the hill in that fierce look, and not only that, but there was also a terrifying courage in that look, which made Samuel's heart tremble, as if facing some invincible existence.
Race: Dwarf.
Comprehensive strength assessment: S
Physique S, liliangS, spirit A-, speed S.
Analysis: Earth-based, anti-poison and anti-demonic properties, Liliang type warrior.
Chen Rui was secretly surprised, this king of the dwarves of the hill actually had the strength of the Demon Emperor level, no wonder he was called the strongest guardian, and Black Rock Mountain could also stand tall in the eyes of human beings. It's just that like Samuel, his time is too precious to stay here.
"Your Highness Ovga, please wait. Chen Rui took two steps forward, and he used the language of the Eye of Analysis, the dwarf of the hills.
This kind of communication was in thought, not directly in words, Ovge was slightly surprised, glanced at him, and asked, "Soul language? Are you an elf? No, your appearance ...... Are you a half-elf?"
"Half-elf?" Teklin glanced at Chen Rui in surprise, "I've never seen such an ugly-looking half-elf." ”
The elves are all handsome men and beautiful women, even if they are half-elves, they are far more outstanding than the appearance of ordinary humans, which does not match Chen Rui's public face.
Like Ina, Chen Rui also ignored Teklin's zuihou, and secretly wondered in his heart: Can the elves on the ground have skills similar to those of the Eye of Analysis?
"I'm human, but I have ample evidence that we have nothing to do with the thieves. ”
